About Autumn
Autumn Altamirano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California and Tennessee with 10 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, grief, anger, and ADHD. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue and life changes.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods to let people set the pace and goals for therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps, and evidence-based techniques are mixed in based on what a person needs.
Autumn draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep them stuck. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current problems. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness strategies are added when people need help with change and coping skills.
Her background includes work in private practice, outpatient settings, and school-based environments. She trained in psychology for her undergraduate degree and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California. That mix of settings informs a straightforward, collaborative style.
Autumn lives in Tennessee and balances clinical work with family life. She aims to work together with people to set clear goals and steps. The focus is on usable tools for daily life and better ways to manage emotions and relationships.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Autumn commonly integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work means conversations focus on what the person wants to address and the therapist follows their lead to set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves practical exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Attachment-based ideas are also used to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current problems. That approach can help with relationship struggles, family conflict, parenting stress, and issues tied to earlier caregiving experiences. Choosing which methods to use is collaborative; Autumn will discuss options and adjust approaches based on a person's goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and clients often find practical ways to adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so they fit into everyday life.
